â ⦠let them eat first. thereâs still a bit of traffic right now, so theyâll probably be back at 12:30. â
â i know. how are things over there? â fu chen stood in the yard. perhaps he had been doing this for a long time, but his hand kept wanting to touch something. he picked up a pair of scissors used to trim the flowers and casually cut off a bud on the branch.
â iâm not too sure. there shouldnât be a problem. i just feel that itâs strange. why would a reporter go to her house? â
âsuch remarkable words? wouldnât it be more explosive if he just directly revealed it? why do you want to go to their house to verify?â
â he also said some unpleasant things. his parents thought that dr. xu and lin bai had an improper relationship, so they rushed over and hit him without a word. â
â¦â¦
everything had happened too suddenly just now, and he didnât have time to think about it. now that he thought about it, he felt that there were many suspicious points about this matter.
if the reporters had really captured something, they could have made a profit by directly exposing it or asking duan linbai to pay for the photos. there was no need to go through so much trouble.
fu chen narrowed his eyes. â iâm afraid ⦠â
someone had dug a hole, and everything that had happened before was just a foreshadowing.
after the appetizer was served, it was time for the main course.
he had always been far-reaching, and he didnât think that things would be the same as he thought. he frowned slightly and his hands moved even faster.
on the side, shi fang was already dumbfounded and really wanted to stop him.
my third master, if you continue like this, half of the flowers in this garden will be ruined.
âafraid of what?â song fengwan pursed her lips.
âitâs fine. iâll wait for you to come back.â fu chen was also worried that he was overthinking and that song fengwan would be worried for nothing.
he hung up the phone and turned to look at shi fang. â âhowâs the matter i asked you to investigate?â
âyou mean the reporter who went to doctor xuâs house?â shi fang bowed and walked over.
âyes.â
â that place is being demolished. apart from the water and electricity supply, many of the surrounding street lamps have been removed. the surveillance cameras have also been removed. itâs also very chaotic there and the personnel is complicated. itâs difficult to investigate. â
âyou asked the jing clan?â
â thereâs no news from sixth masterâs side for the time being. itâs like finding a needle in a haystack. itâll probably be difficult for the jing family to find out. i wonder which reporter is so bold. â shi fang couldnât help but ridicule.
âiâm just afraid itâs not a reporter.â fu chen muttered.
âwhat did you just say?â shi fang really didnât understand what he meant.
how could he not be a reporter?
â actually, itâs very difficult for normal people to tell whether a reporter is real or fake. you might think that heâs real just because heâs carrying a camera. even if he shows his id, ordinary people are afraid that theyâll shamelessly tell. â
shi fang furrowed his brows. â third master, what are you worried about? â
fu chen was about to speak when he heard old fuâs bell-like voice behind him.
â youâre so wicked. iâve just said a little bit, how did you end it ⦠â the old man was so anxious that he even started to speak in local dialect.
fu chen held the scissors, looking confused.
âdonât pretend to be innocent, you brat. weâve caught you red-handed!â master fu was furious.
this wicked little rascal, couldnât he see him raising some flowers and taoming his sentiments?
âiâm just fixing it for you. donât you think itâll look better after itâs done?â
âget lost!â master fu was furious. this kid was trying to piss him off.
âwhatâs wrong? isnât it embarrassing to be so noisy in the middle of the day?â the old lady walked out and looked at the flower. was this third brother a destructive maniac? âthird brother, when will wanwan be back?â
â thereâs a traffic jam. you guys eat first. second brother and second sister-in-law have something to do in the afternoon. iâll wait for her. â
they were all family, so there was no need to be so polite.
â hehe, what are you eating for? just leave some food for wanwan. this kid wonât let you eat. if you want to eat, go back to your own house! â the old man waved his hand and entered the house in a huff.
fu chen looked at the flowers on the ground and frowned slightly. was there a need to be so angry?
â¦â¦
after song fengwan hung up, qian jiang suddenly coughed and said, â âmiss song, i wasnât the one who was in charge of reversing the car just now,â
âwhat?â song fengwan didnât expect him to suddenly speak. she was stunned. â what? â
â it was young master duanâs own problem. he couldnât get it out when he drove in and didnât let me help, so he was delayed in the alley for a long time. â
song fengwan lowered her head and chuckled. why didnât she realize that qian jiang was such a serious person?
âiâm third masterâs man, so iâm pretty good at all my skills.â
qian jiang was just unhappy. why did duan linbai throw dirty water on him and insist on bringing his third master along?
song fengwan never thought that qian jiang would be such a protective person.
â then why didnât you expose him on the spot just now? â
âfirst, give him some face.â qian jiang grabbed the steering wheel.
âsecond, i value my life!â
song fengwan laughed out loud.
however, with duan linbaiâs temper, he would really rush over and blow his head off. haha â¦

on duan linbaiâs side,
he drove straight to his house, but xu jiamu didnât want to go at first. he said that there was no one at home, and how could she go out with a swollen face?
xu jiamuâs skin wasnât very good. at that moment, the heat on his face had already subsided, but the swelling hadnât gone away. on his small, white face, it looked even more frightening.
after arriving at the duan familyâs house, duan linbai took some ice from the refrigerator and wrapped it in a plastic bag and a towel. â do you want to eat anything? iâll order a takeaway.â
âno need for now.â
xu jiamu was about to take the ice pack from him, but duan linbai reached out to avoid it. â donât move, let me do it. â
âno need ⦠ah yingluo.â
before xu jiamu could finish his sentence, the ice pack landed on her arm. the bone-piercing cold made her cry out in shock, and her whole body trembled.
âwhat are you doing?â
âdonât move, iâll do it.â
xu jiamu had no choice but to tuck his hair behind his ears, revealing his face that had been slapped. he looked away uneasily.
duan linbai narrowed his eyes and gently put the ice bag next to her face. her body trembled and she quickly cooled down.
âvery cold?â
âa little.â
xu jiamu didnât know how to face him, especially when it came to family matters. it was always hard to talk about them.
âmu zi,â
âwhat?â her eyes turned and subconsciously looked at duan linbai, only to find that a certain someone had already leaned over and their noses were touching â¦
her breathing was intertwined, and she subconsciously held her breath. then, she felt something soft and warm fall on the corner of her lips.
âthis ice?â
xu jiamuâs breathing stopped, not knowing how to answer.
duan linbai had already held her face and leaned down â¦
*
she didnât know how long the kiss lasted, but when the doorbell rang, he handed her the ice pack. â put this on yourself first. â
âyes.â
duan linbai was too carefree and was rarely so serious, causing her heart to beat chaotically because he had just whispered in her ear, â âi will never let you feel cold.â
xu jiamuâs heart was in chaos.
to her, these words were too cowardly!
she held the ice pack and gently leaned against her face. her whole body was filled with an unknown thing, and her whole body was warm.
the one who rang the doorbell was his assistant, little jiang. he had the password to the duan familyâs house, but he was worried that he would come at the wrong time, so he didnât dare to knock on the door. he had some food, a bag of medicine, and even a bag of loquats in his hand.
he was surprised to see xu jiamuâs swollen face, but when he looked closer, his mouth was swollen too.
she heard that something had happened at home.
other peopleâs families were in trouble. what was his little boss doing to them?
âeverything is here. please take a look, is there anything else you need?â xiaojiang put down the things.
duan linbai counted his things and said unhurriedly, â you can go now. â
xiaojiang was speechless. even if he didnât say it, he wouldnât be so insensible.
â by the way, send the documents to the house in the afternoon. â
âalright,â he said. xiaojiangâs phone rang before he could walk out of the duan familyâs gate.
closely after that, news came one after another, blowing up the entire capital!
